This isn't Ryanair bashing week, I promise, but when i heard that Ryanair want to charge you to use the toilet on their planes, I almost choked on me tea. Not just a bit of change, they're considering charging passengers a pound per use. This comes just days after their wonderful public relations outburst calling all bloggers idiots so they aren't exactly my favourite company at the moment.

Well we at WalletPop aren't idiots, and frankly even paying 20p to use the loo in a train station annoys us. But being forced to pay on a flight just isn't on!
Now, if you're 'caught short' in a station, then I'm sure most of you will begrudgingly pay the small change to use the facilities. Either that or you'll wait to use the loo on the train if you have the option. A few cheeky people might even sneak into a nearby pub (guilty as charged). But the point is, you have options. You don't have to pay unless you really have to go.

But Ryanair don't give people a choice, do they? In fact, if you need to go on a flight, you'd have no choice but to use their loo because there's nowhere else to go! Talk about holding your passengers captive! It's not something they plan to introduce right away, but this is the airline who charge you £30 if you can't quite fit everything into one piece of hand luggage - something they don't tell you until after you've stocked up on duty free. I've been caught by that trick and I wasn't impressed.

Hopefully, people won't buy overpriced in-flight drinks anymore so Ryanair might find themselves making a loss with this idea, but surely, forcing people to spend money is going a step too far? What happens if someone is sick? Are they just expected to sit in their seat? Ryanair have fallen out of favour with me this week already, but this time they really are taking the piss.

What do you think? Is this a step too far? Tell me what you think in the comments.
